Correspondence of the Beacon

WASHINGTON, March %, 1887.
Messrs Editors Although the
weather continues cold the days are
bright and pleasant. and evidences of
the opening Of spring time abound
upon every hand. The buds are
bursting upon the earlier varieties of
trees, and crocuses and other blossom
ings plants are in full blossom in the
parks and public grounds.
As the time approaches for the open
ing of the great National Drill the
headquarters Of the committee, having
the matter in charge, presents very
active appearance. Military organi-
cations from every State in the Union
have notified the committee of their
intention of participating in the con-
tests, and it Is probable that at least
fifteen thousand men will be included
in the grand review, to be held upon
the closing day.
Tn re seems to - no relation be-
tween the railroad collisions and the
Patent Office, but one of the direct
results of the recent railroad disasters
in Vermont aud Massachusetts,, has
been to stimulate the inventive minds
throughout the country, and they
have set at work to invent something
that will supply an acknowledged pub
lie need, and the Patent Office is being
flooded with apple .tions for patents
for great variety of devices for
modifying the danger incident to the
present means of heating railway
cars No less than three hundred and
sixty applications Of this class have
been received during the past six
weeks, ana the number is increasing
daily.
One Of the stable institutions Of the
the Sergeaut-at-Arms of the House Of
Representatives. 1t is at this office
that the employees of the House side
Of the Capitol receive their monthly
payments, ard the office is open the
year around. Among the Members
in the city, who visited the office a
day or two since, was Representative
W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Scott had not drawn any portion of
his salary for more than year, and
be received from the cashier $4,000,
which is said to have been the largest
sum ever paid to a single individual
IN the history Of the office.
The work Of the Pension Office is
increasing so rapidly that there is a
likelihood of the Office being swamped
unless there is let up. During the
past week 6,247 new claims were filed;
2,347 claims were rejected, and ,, l47
allowed; and the total number now
lending is 2S7.l37 The Mexican
pension claims are coming in large
numbers, and it is not seen how it is
possible to dispose Of the number be-
fore the end Of the fiscal year, ending
June SO, 1885 The S6,OO0,OOO,
and over, appropriated for this class
of claims must be paid out before that
time, or else. whatever balance is on
hand turned into the Treasury. This
will probably necessitate another ap-
preparation by Congress as it is next
to impossible to finally dispose of the
10000 claims which it is estimated
will be filed. The claimants are be-
ginning to understand the situation.
and are accordingly pressing their
claims for all they are worth. H.

months
On the 18th instant, w. CHESTER, son
of w. c. and Emma J. Dean, aged Is
months and 90 days.
We had little treasure once,
He was our joy and pride,
We loved him, Oh perhaps too well,
For soon he slept and died.
All is dark Within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts to-day,
For the one we loved SO dearly,
Has forever passed away.
Passed his suffering, passed his pain,
Cease TO weep for tears are vain,
Calm the tumult of thy breast,
For he who suffered is at rest.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear boy has gone.
But oh a brighter home than ours
In heaven is now his own!
By A FRIEND.

Products of Sewage Farms.

DR.. Tidy, in marked contrast with DR.. Cor
field, thinks that there is danger that entozoic
diseases may be communicated to both man
and beast by means of the products of sewage
farms. He says that the fact has always
been recognized that e%ntozoic diseases have
an external origin; j. e., that the ova or para
sites come from without, and are not gener-
ated within, the human body. Millions of
ova are voided with every segment dis
charged by the person afflicted with tape
worm, each ovum being capable of produce
ing a measle in the flesh of all animal, and
each measle a tapeworm in the body of the
man. He has seen watercresses and celery
grown ON sewage ground, having quantity
of dried sewage matter deposited on the
stems, and he has, with more than q cooks
patience, tried to wash this matter off, but
the tenacity with which it sticks upon the
surface Of the vegetable when once dry is
perfectly astounding.
It should be remembered in this connection
that these vegetables are eaten in an un.
cooked state. The grass covered with sewage,
eaten as it is with rapacity by the cattle, in
fleets their bodies with the larval parasite.
Thus tho meat is measly, and measly meat,
except for efficient cooking, means tapeworm
to tho human subject. Perhaps q similar
story might be told of trichina, with its ten
times greater danger. The farm, therefore,
that receives sewage must be more liable to
produce measly meat than che farm that does
not receive it.-Science Book Review.

When is a Halter Not n uatters

A we'll known halter was riding uptown
last night, and engaged with a scholarly
neighbor in al animated conversation on the
obscurity of Browning's poetry. AT Eagle

behind the halter, whom he at once recog-
nized Us the man of whom lie purchased his
headgear, though the latter didn't know him.
After sitting some time uneasily, the swell

Jack,on,. Bloody Due,.

Senator James jackson Of Georgia fought
a bloody duel before he came to Washington.
He was an Englishman by birth, but he came
to Savannah when q lad, studied law, was q
leading Freemason, and fought CALAMITY in
the Revolutionary war. He killed Lieuten.
ant Governor Wells in 1850, in a duel, and
was engaged in several other affairs of
honor" until he finally determined to accept
a challenge OF such terms as would make it
his last duel. So be prescribed, as the terms,
that each party, armed with q double bar
relied gun loaded with buckshot, and with o
hunting knife, should row himself in q ski1
to designated points on opposite sides of
the Savannah river. When the city
clock struck IL each party should start and
row his skiff to O small island in the middle
of the river, which was wooded and covered
with underbrush. On arriving at the island
each party was to moor his skiff, stand by it
for ten minutes, and then go about on the
island till the meeting took place.
The seconds waited on the mainland until
utter ] o'clock, when they heard three gun.
shots and loud and angry cries. Then oil
was still. AT daylight, as had been agreed
upon, the seconds went to the island and
found jackson lying OH the ground. insensible
from the loss of blood, and his antagonist ly-
ing across him, dead. jackson recovered,
but would never relate his experience OH tina,
night, nor was he ever challenged again. HI
